Rising water levels on the Missouri River are threatening to flood up to 500,000 acres of key corn and soybean production areas in the western Midwest.

The U.S. Coast Guard on Wednesday closed a part of the river to all vessel traffic where the state lines of Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri meet.

The flooding has sparked a scramble for supplies in the soymeal cash market as several processing plants are expected to shut when flood waters disrupt rail service in some areas.

The overflow of the Missouri River follows flooding of farm land in the South by the Mississippi River last month.

The United States is the world's No. 1 grower and exporter of corn and soybeans, and top shipper of wheat.

Two Air Force Reserve cadets were taken to a hospital by ambulance and 75 others by bus after a lightning strike Wednesday at a southern Mississippi military training base, a spokeswoman said.

Air Force Reserve cadets from around the country were at the Joint Forces Training Center for two weeks of work, said Army National Guard Maj. Deidre Musgrave. All were responsive and stable after the lightning hit about 2 p.m., she said.

Forrest County emergency operations director Terry Steed told a National Weather Service forecaster that nobody was directly hit when lightning hit a power pole near tents. All were taken to hospitals as a precaution, said Mike Edmonston, a senior meteorologist in Jackson.

Camp Shelby near Hattiesburg is the nation's largest state-owned military training center. Its 136,000 acres cut out of southern Mississippi's rolling hills and pine forests includes mock cities designed to look like Iraq and Afghanistan to give soldiers realistic training.

Fukushima Is Worse Than Chernobyl

In a recent statement by Dr. Gabriel Cousens, MD, MD(H), he speaks frankly about the overdue acknowledgement worldwide that the Fukushima crisis continues to worsen beyond even Dr. Helen Caldicott's recent comments, "It's worse than Chernobyl."

To generalize the big picture, Dr. Cousens explains "the Japanese government has not been able to stop the biggest radiation leak the world has ever seen. And now to make matters worse, they alternate between denial and admitting the bare essential facts; (a little bit more than the US government is doing). This is a serious problem because without adequate and honest information the Japanese, American, and global public are severely limited in understanding the seriousness of the situation."

His concern continues "They are thusly unmotivated and are not empowered to protect themselves. The reason I write this blog is because people need to know that this is not a crisis that is going to go away next month or even next year. For reasonable protection we would do well to follow very seriously my radiation crisis protocol for at least the next year."

Floods have killed 52 people and left 32 missing in China since the flood season started in June, a senior official said Wednesday, warning of more heavy rains.

Heavy rains have inundated parts of 12 provinces in central and southern China and affected 4.81 million people so far since the flood season arrived, Shu Qingpeng, deputy head of the Office of State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters, told a Wednesday press conference.

In the worst-hit southwestern province of Guizhou, floods have killed 21 people and left 32 missing in the past few days, forcing nearly 100,000 people to evacuate.

More than 3,000 rescuers are working to locate the missing and fight the floods in the province's Wangmo County, where all the deaths and most of the missing were reported after downpours lashed the county Monday morning.

James Dickinson, left, and Alton Pickup of the United States Forest Service Task Force attempt to slow the spread of a wildfire in Randall County, Texas, on May 25.

Monster tornadoes, historic floods, massive wildfires and widespread drought: Springtime has delivered a wallop of weather-related destruction and misery across much of the nation this year. And it may all be related.

Never mind the debate over global warming, its possible causes and effects. We've got "global weirding."

That's how climatologist Bill Patzert describes the wide range of deadly weather effects that have whipped the nation this year, killing hundreds of people and doing billions of dollars in damage to homes, businesses, schools and churches.

"Sometimes it gets wild and weird," says Patzert, a research scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.
